Distinguished Book Round Up

Dec. 2022

Distinguished Round Up is when all the well-read and deeply-opinionated ACLers get together to finalize the titles on our annual list of Outstanding Books. We review titles that have been added, debate “stinky cheese” titles that have split for/against votes, and we also try to round up a few committed reviewers to cover titles that have somehow fallen through our net during the year. It is a time to bring up both positives and negatives about the books, and to help insure that our list is representative and inclusive.
